Where to find it

Chat → move over a message or right-click

Actions depend on whether the message is yours, its type and support at the other client. Open actions on the message you want to work with.

What do the choices mean?

Reply

Choose Reply, check the reference and type below. This identifies the message you are answering.

React

Choose an emoji on the message. Other clients need to support displaying reactions.

Edit

Choose Edit on your own message, change the text and finish. Editing does not guarantee the old text has disappeared everywhere.

Copy text

Select text and use the offered copy action to copy it to the clipboard. If you paste it into another chat, check the destination before sending.

Delete

Local deletion affects this data directory. Removal for everyone requests removal on other clients; content already read or copied cannot reliably be recalled.

Search messages

Open the magnifier at the top, enter a term and select a result. Older history can only be loaded when available from the server archive.

Mentions

Mentions draw your attention to a group message. Choose mention notifications using the chat’s bell.
